When you're in a building, you can tag its occupants to keep tabs on them as they move through the buildings, making each job more tense as you track their movements while rifling through their belongings. You can even steal high dollar items and pawn them off for cash, which will help you out-and you can sell certain items on the black market as well.

Every simple job has a purpose, giving you XP that you can then use to purchase higher skill sets to make your jobs more interesting. After a while, you build up to picking locks and more complicated methods of breaking and entering. You start out with rather rudimentary things like smashing open a window with a crowbar to get into a house to steal mundane items like kettles and pans. The game plays totally in first person as you move through the levels learning different skills to make your next outing more efficient. Thief Simulator keeps it stripped down to the bare basics of thievery, letting you simply run mission after mission. You also won't get to take advantage of the massive open-world style of Grand Theft Auto. There are other similar games that allow for elements of thievery to take place, but it doesn't come chock full of storyline and depth of elaborate jobs and heists like you'll find in the Uncharted series.

Those who want to experience the thrill of breaking into various houses and buildings on missions to steal items of varying importance will get a kick out of Thief Simulator, a sandbox simulator. Of course, these things are super illegal, and your average Joe (or average gamer, as it were) isn't looking to go out thieving for thrill, no matter how curious they might be. Kleptomaniacs are people that seem to steal with something of a compulsion there is a thrill that comes with it that compels them to do everything from simple shoplifting to more elaborate acts of larceny in order to feed that thrill.
